Collide News & Updates

It's a new year, and although we've been quiet on the musical front, we've still been very busy.

As you can see, we now have a brand new Collide website, and online store. We've added lots of new products on the store, and it works much better on mobile devices. In case you're bored, there is news all of the way back to 1998, so feel free to poke around the pictures, or check out the updated discography.

We are happy to announce that one of our songs, "Chaotic" (Oxidized) - Remixed by DJO2, from "Bent and Broken" will be appearing on the upcoming compilation "Absolute Grrrls Manifesto". It's a 4 CD set. There's so much to this release that it's best to see their mini-site dedicated to this release

"We just wanted to make the kind of music that we wanted to hear."

Once upon a time, somewhere around 1992, two people met at an industrial dance club. One was very thirsty, so they asked the other to get them some water. After the liquid reached the glass, the two began a conversation, which became a friendship, and then formed a creative union.

The creative union became what is known as COLLIDE. The primary core of the Los Angeles based duo is Statik and kaRIN. Statik is responsible for the sound orchestrations and overall production. kaRIN takes care of the vocals and lyrics.

The essence of COLLIDE is the coming together of two opposing entities to form a symbiotic whole ... combining the female and masculine energies, the cognitive and the subliminal, the strength and the mystery.
